Prioritize Mental Health

In North Carolina, 1 in 5 adolescents has seriously considered attempting suicide, while 1 in 10 has made a suicide attempt. In addition, more than 1 in 10 children aged 3-17 has a diagnosis of anxiety or depression.*

Barri­ers such as cost & access disproportionately impact:

  • Low-income

  • Minorities

  • Rural communities

  • Children with special health care needs

Anderson Outreach exists to ensure that these youth have hope, advocates, and the necessary tools they need to thrive.
